Raccoons

Raccoons are a common and adaptable subject in my photography. I document their foraging and their resourcefulness. I capture their interactions in urban and rural environments. I observe their problem-solving skills and their adaptability to diverse habitats. I aim to show their complex behaviors and their role in the ecosystem. Their intelligence is remarkable.
